Waiting for an Invitation

[Verse 1]
Ladies roll by
Like a million cemetery lawns
I don't even try
Anymore, keeping up with the headstones
Maybe I've been waitin' too long, too long
For somebody to throw my kinda party
And I know I'm too old

[Verse 2]
Stadiums cry
Go on until your band gets back together
Don't you think it's probably time
You sit and write your fans an apology letter
Maybe you've been waitin' too long, too long
For somebody to throw your kinda party
And you're old, you're too old

[Chorus]
If you're waitin' for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
If you're looking for an invitation
It's never gon' come, it's never gon' come
You're never gonna get one

[Verse 3]
Lovers, they try
They try to whip the stars into compliance
Careful, don't you pull too hard
Don't want to knock the planets out of alignment

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you've been waitin' too long, too long
For somebody to show up to the party
And you're old, you're too old

[Chorus]
If you're waitin' for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
If you're looking for an invitation
It's never gon' come, it's never gon' come
You're never gonna get one

[Refrain]
If you're waitin' for an invitation
You're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
Wait a long time, you're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
Wait a long time, you're gonna wait a long time
Wait a long time, wait a long time
Wait a long time, you're gonna wait a long time
You're gonna wait a long time
